Editor’s Note: Gloria Yoder’s grandmother passed away last week after battling complications from a stroke for over a week. The Yoders were going to host funeral services which is a big undertaking, requiring meal-planning, accommodating out of town guests, and grieving.

So Gloria is taking off from her column duties this week and will return next week. In the meantime she leaves us with this summer favorite recipe with readers. A cool, refreshing treat during the Dog Days of summer!
